About The Conceivable Future 
In The Conceivable Future, authors Meghan Elizabeth Kallman and Josephine Ferorelli explore the ways in which the climate crisis is affecting our personal decisions about family planning, parenting, and political action. This book offers fresh, timely answers to questions such as: How do I decide to have a baby when there's the threat of environmental collapse? How do I parent a child in the middle of the climate crisis? What can I actually do to help stop global warming?

Drawing from their decade of work with the organization Conceivable Future, Kallman, a sociologist and Rhode Island State Senator, and Ferorelli, an activist and former Climate Bureau editor, offers both informed perspective and practical steps for taking meaningful action in combating the climate crisis, while also making smart, balanced decisions when it comes to starting and maintaining a family.

About Conceivable Future Organization + its founders
Kallman and Ferorelli founded the organization Conceivable Future in 2014 to recognize that environmental collapse is now a major factor in family planning. We aimed to start a national conversation about the climate crisis and its effects on all our reproductive lives.

We are guided by an ethical understanding of history and inequality, and are committed to creating a supportive environment where each person and their story is welcomed and respected. Josephine Ferorelli is a writer, illustrator, and yoga instructor who lives in Chicago, Illinois. Meghan Elizabeth Kallman is a professor, organizer, and a State Senator, representing Rhode Island District 15.
